WhatsApp announced its decision to extend support for older platforms until June 30th of 2017 on its blog, noting that:

“As announced in our blog, we will soon be ending support for certain devices. On June 30, 2017, we will no longer support the following platforms: BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian S60.”

The platform is clearly moving to target platforms in which it sees the next billion consumers to come online making use of; furthermore, adopting newer platforms will enable the Facebook-owned giant to introduce new features far more rapidly.

What are your thoughts? Will you be left without WhatsApp support come June 2017, or have you already migrated to Android or another supported platform? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
